Not good.......
Well.....I finally got to the doctor today. I had tried to make an appointment sooner but with watching the kids and all there's only certain days that I can go. We had a health fair earlier this year and it's a really good deal on getting a blood test so Glen and I have gone for the last few years. Anyway my blood test didn't come back too good so I knew that I was going to have to see the doctor. She wasn't very happy......I had to go and have another blood test.......and they took 18 vials of blood for all of the tests!!!!!!! I was worried about being light headed after they were done!!!! But I was alright!! The doctor is changing some meds......I have to start watching my blood sugar better.......lose weight.......and come back in two weeks....then another two weeks......and then every three months!!! My blood sugar is only one of the problems there are several others that are attacking me at once!!!
I also asked her to set me up a sleep test. I have sleep apnea.......and dearly hate to admit it!!! Since Glen's Mom passed away I started using her breathing maching.......reluctantly!!! I do have to admit that I've been feeling much better so I figured I might as well get the machine programed for my needs and I need a mask that fits me better. I'm kinda' in shock about it all because I have been feeling better. This getting old is the pits!!!!! |

Diana.....you do what you have to do...I can't stand the thought of anything happening to you. I wished we lived closer to each other so we could get in shape together.

That can be a shock when you are feeling good! I guess you have to follow the doctor's orders.
Keep us posted on the outcome, and follow her program!

I'm so glad that you went Diana. The effects of diabetes are often silent for a long time then problems crop up. Keeping your blood sugar under better control is a really good thing. Do you test at home? Gary has to test about 3-4 times a day and it really helps to see how well he is doing.
Please keep us posted!

Yes, I have to test 4 times a day.....but so far I keep forgeting. I should get a call to find out what my AC1 is. What I'm dealing with is more than my diabetes. The doctor said that it's like everything's been controled but is now all falling apart. A lot of it can be contributed to being overweight......so I've GOT to work on that for sure......not that it can cure everything but it can sure help.
Dae Lynn's moving in with us soon and she's talking about us dieting together and exercising together........that will really help!! Janet, I wish that you lived closer too!!! We'd either be really good at dieting together........or talk each other into eating!!! LOL |
